It's the kind of cake that fills your kitchen with warmth and disappears from the plate before it even cools.

Hapa is an indigenous Hawaiian word used to characterize mixed-race people. Literally meaning, ‘half’ – it describes someone who is half native Hawaiian. However, it has been adopted by those who are half of any race. In a lifelong search to discover where I belong and what group I identify with, I found that food is the strongest tie that brings us together. On Hapa Nom Nom, food is a kind of connective tissue, bringing my background, family, travels, and tastes together in one delicious bite. It’s a new take on fusion, and a deliciously modern way to think about how we bring a wealth of life’s experiences with us as we learn to cook for ourselves – mixing cultures, and simplifying traditional techniques. I’m a hapa girl, a happy mix of Swedish, Scottish, and English (my mother) and Japanese (my father). When I think of blending cuisines, it extends beyond mere ingredients. It can also translate into various cooking methods and final presentation. Happy eating!" #VEGAN #brewbluetea #butterflypea #bluetea #kaffirlime #kaffirlimeleaf

Once finished cooking, add salt to taste and unsalted butter. Stir until fully melted and incorporated. Add in finely chopped cilantro and the juice of one lime. Stir until combined. Chicken Method: Place chicken thighs into a bowl and coat thoroughly with satay marinade base and sugar. In a medium skillet, heat enough vegetable oil to coat the bottom of the pan, and once hot add the chicken. Sear for 2-3 minutes. Flip and sear for 1-2 more minutes. Add chicken pieces to a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven set to 400F for 10-15 minutes or until internal temperature is 165F. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and toss in its own juices. Beans Method: In a medium saucepan, add unsalted butter over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add in sliced sweet onion, salt, and pepper, sliced jalapenos, and stir to coat with the butter.

Learn the difference between Ube vs Purple Sweet Potato - Part 2 on Ube Purple Yam benefits Let's welcome, Ube Purple Yam powder and let's learn the difference between Ube vs Purple Sweet Potato. There's another new purple jewel in town, and its name is UBE. Pronounced oo-beh, this dazzling purple yam, (scientific name is Dioscorea alata) has been a beloved secret in the Philippines for centuries. From creamy ube halaya jam to vibrant ube ice cream and lattes, its sweet, nutty, vanilla-like flavour and stunning colour have finally captured the world's attention. Part 1 is the benefits of Ube Purple Yam. For more follow this link --> Authentic UBE (Purple Yam) Powder – A Filipino Superstar ! Ube vs Purple Sweet Potato But Ube Purple Yam is more than just a pretty face for your social media feed. Traditional use and modern studies suggest this root vegetable is a powerhouse of unique health benefits, different from its cousin, the purple sweet potato. Ube (Dioscorea alata) as mentioned belongs to the yam family and offers a distinct sweet, nutty, vanilla-like flavor with a moist, creamy texture that's perfect for desserts . Its purple colour comes from potent anthocyanins, and research highlights its diverse biological activities—including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, and even cardioprotective properties—largely attributed to bioactive compounds like saponins and flavonoids Ube vs Purple Sweet Potato In contrast, purple sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) is starchier and more floral, with an edible, smoother skin compared to ube's bark-like exterior . Rich in anthocyanins like cyanidin and peonidin, it's been studied for its ability to reduce oxidative stress, support liver and kidney function, and improve metabolic health . A Noble Cousin Meanwhile, their cousin the Chinese yam (Dioscorea polystachya) is valued in traditional medicine for its protein content and bioactive compounds. It has shown potential in regulating blood glucose, offering antioxidant and immunomodulatory effects, and even protecting male reproductive health . While ube and purple sweet potato both deliver powerful anthocyanin antioxidants, Chinese yam brings a different set of bioactive proteins and polysaccharides to the table, making each a unique functional food in its own right. While Ube, Purple Yam (Dioscorea alata) and Chinese Yam (Dioscorea polystachya) belong to the same genus (Dioscorea), they are quite different in appearance, flavour, and traditional use. Purple Yam is the vibrant desserts like Ube, while Chinese Yam is a staple in savoury soups and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for spleen and stomach. While two are purple, they are quite distinct. Purple sweet potato tends to have a drier, starchier texture and an earthy flavour. UBE (Purple Yam) is moister, denser, and offers a unique, sweet, and almost floral or vanilla-like taste. Its vibrant colour can also be more intense, making it a showstopper in any recipe. Chinese Yam while still a cousin, inside the flesh is usually a solid creamy white colour. Let's explore the magnificent world of My Blue Tea's 100% Pure UBE (Purple Yam) Powder – perfect for adding a vibrant, nutritious twist to your TCM-inspired rainbow bowls, smoothies, and bakes. Ube Purple Yam leaves / Chines Yam leaves / Sweet Potato leaves Our farm is a colourful treasure trove! 🌱💜 From left are Ube Purple Yam and Chinese Yam leaves (it's a climbing vine) and on the right are Sweet Potato leaves, a ground cover. We grow Ube, Chinese Yam, and a beautiful selection of sweet potatoes – from white and orange to rich purple, including the much-loved New Zealand Kumara. If you're ever unsure about telling them apart, the key is in the leaves – and their scientific names are your starting point for understanding the differences. Learning to identify them by their foliage is a wonderful way to deepen your appreciation for these incredible plants. We're always happy to share what we know! 🌿📖 Edible vs Poisonous Leaves Ube vs Chinese Yam vs Sweet Potato leaves Don't Eat - Unlike some other edible tubers, Ube vines (Dioscorea alatas) and leaves are toxic and should NOT be consumed, either raw or cooked. Safe - Yes, you can eat the leaves of the Chinese Yam (Dioscorea polystachya), but be aware that when people refer to "yam leaves" in cooking, they are almost always eating sweet potato leaves (Ipomoea batatas), which are frequently marketed under the same name. Safe - Yes, Sweet potato leaves (Ipomoea batatas) are edible, highly nutritious, and delicious, acting as a versatile leafy green similar to spinach or kale. They are popular in Asian and African cuisine, offering a mild, earthy taste. They are commonly prepared by stir-frying with garlic, steaming, or adding to soups, and are packed with vitamins A, C, and K And when it comes to your health? Ube Purple Yam & Purple Sweet Potato both stands proudly on its own with their own beautiful colour and benefits. Can you spot the difference? Ube vs Purple Sweet Potato is the "intensity" of the purple colour. If your Purple Yam / Ube is very intense, trust us it may have been added with "artificial colours or substance". Purple Sweet Potato is more intense and as it is natural. My Blue Tea has both 100% natural Purple Sweet Potao and Ube Purple Yam powder.

One Dough, Two Stunning Colours – Butterfly Pea & Dragon Fruit Scones These aren't your average scones! We've taken a classic cream cheese scone and given it a stunning makeover with two vibrant, natural superfood powders. The Butterfly Pea Powder lends a beautiful, dreamy blue hue, while the Dragon Fruit Powder adds a subtle sweetness and a pop of vibrant pink that's simply irresistible. Together, they create a batch of scones that are as visually striking as they are delicious—fluffy, tender, and studded with creamy pockets of cheese. Scones with Cream cheese is perfect for afternoon tea, a special breakfast, or just because you want to eat something pretty! Butterfly Pea Scones with Cream cheese and blueberries Scones with Cream Cheese Cream cheese filling: *200g cream cheese (softened) *3 tablespoons of sweetener or *20g of icing sugar *2 teaspoons of no sugar added jam or any jam - (1) Mix all filling ingredients together until smooth and well combined. (2) Transfer the mixture into a piping bag, snip off the tip, and pipe the filling generously into each cup-shaped scone dough. Note by Elizabeth : "This amount of filling is perfect for 12 scones— I fill them right up and use every last bit! " Scones with Cream Cheese Ingredients: *210g Flour *6g @my.blue.tea Blue Butterfly pea flower powder OR @my.blue.tea Red dragon fruit powder *5g baking powder *15g Caster sugar *40g Butter (cold) 65g milk *25g thickened cream Isn't it lovely? Dragonfruit Scones with Cream Cheese Scones with Cream Cheese Method: 1. In a large mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients. Rub in the cold butter with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. 2. Add the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Knead gently until smooth, then wrap the dough in cling wrap and refrigerate to rest for 30 minutes. 3. While the dough is resting, prepare the cream cheese filling and set aside. 4. After 30 minutes, divide the rested dough into portions of 30g each. Roll each portion into a smooth round ball. 5. Using your thumb, gently press into the centre of each ball to create a well or "cup" shape. 6. Pipe the cream cheese filling into each cup, filling it right to the top. 7. Arrange the filled scones on a lined baking tray and bake in a preheated oven at 170°C for 25 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. 8. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!

Purple is the New Black, we've said this long ago....... Let's welcome, Ube powder / Purple Yam. There's a new purple jewel in town, and its name is UBE. Pronounced oo-beh, this dazzling purple yam, (scientific name is Dioscorea alata) has been a beloved secret in the Philippines for centuries. From creamy ube halaya jam to vibrant ube ice cream and lattes, its sweet, nutty, vanilla-like flavour and stunning colour have finally captured the world's attention. *Ancient Cultivation: The purple yam is one of the most important staple crops of Austronesian cultures. While archaeological evidence from the Niah Caves in Borneo (over 40,000 years ago) shows that people were using starchy plants like yams very early, the domestication of the purple yam we know today is believed to have occurred around 10,000 years ago, likely in New Guinea and Island Southeast Asia, before spreading through the region. *Global Traveler: Because of its importance as a food source, the purple yam was carried by Austronesian voyagers on their ocean journeys. It was introduced throughout the Pacific Islands, to New Zealand, and as far west as Madagascar and the Comoros . *Today: From its origins, the purple yam has spread worldwide and now brought to you by MyBlueTea. UBE / Purple Yam 100% pure UBE powder (Dioscorea alata) But Ube is more than just a pretty face for your social media feed. Traditional use and modern studies suggest this root vegetable is a powerhouse of unique health benefits, different from its cousin, the purple sweet potato and similar product Chinese Yam While Purple Yam (Dioscorea alata) and Chinese Yam (Dioscorea polystachya) belong to the same genus (Dioscorea), they are quite different in appearance, flavour, and traditional use.

Ube Purple Yam vs. Purple Sweet Potato: A Noble Cousin While both are purple, they are distinct. Purple sweet potato tends to have a drier, starchier texture and an earthy flavour. UBE (Purple Yam) is moister, denser, and offers a unique, sweet, and almost floral or vanilla-like taste. Its vibrant colour can also be more intense, making it a showstopper in any recipe. Ube Purple Yam vs Purple Sweet Potato vs Taro next blog and Ube Purple Yam leaves vs Chinese Yam leaves vs Sweet Potato leaves (details in our next blog). And when it comes to your health? Ube & Purple Sweet Potato both stands proudly on its own with their own beautiful colour and benefits. Can you spot the difference? If your Purple Yam / Ube is very intense in colour, trust us it may have been added with artificial colour or subtance. Purple Sweet Potato is more intense and as it is natural. My Blue Tea has both Ube Halaya (Ube) and Purple Sweet Potato / Okinawan Purple potato (Ubi keledek). (see notes below). Magnificent UBE (Purple Yam) Health Benefits:: In a world of functional foods, ube shines. It provides complex carbohydrates for sustained energy, dietary fibre for digestion, and a unique profile of antioxidants. Here’s why you should welcome this tuber into your pantry: 1. Potent Antioxidant Powerhouse (Beyond Standard Anthocyanins) Like purple sweet potato, ube gets its colour from anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants that fight free radicals. However, ube contains a unique and highly stable type of anthocyanin called alatanins (Cyanidin-3-gentiobioside). Benefit: These compounds are remarkably stable even when exposed to heat and light, meaning your baked goods, lattes, and cooked oatmeal retain more of their free-radical-fighting potential. Anti-Aging: By neutralizing oxidative stress, these antioxidants support healthy, youthful-looking skin and protect cells from damage. 2. Supports Blood Sugar Management (A Diabetic-Friendly Carb) This is a key difference from many other starchy roots. Ube has a reputation for having a lower glycaemic index (GI) compared to regular white potatoes and even some sweet potato varieties. Benefit: The complex carbohydrates and high fibre content in ube lead to a slower, more gradual release of sugar into the bloodstream. This helps prevent sharp insulin spikes, making ube a smarter choice for individuals managing type 2 diabetes or insulin resistance, when consumed in moderation. The steady energy release is a sign of a food that supports the Spleen and Stomach (the Earth element), providing sustained Qi without creating dampness. 4. Digestive Health & Natural Prebiotic Just one serving of ube powder provides a healthy dose of dietary fibre. Benefit: Fibre adds bulk to stool, preventing constipation and promoting regularity. Furthermore, the specific type of resistant starch in ube acts as a prebiotic, feeding the beneficial bacteria in your gut. A healthy gut microbiome is the foundation of a strong immune system and clear skin—directly addressing the "dampness" and eczema story we shared. 5. Nourishes Hair, Skin In traditional practices, the colour purple/black is associated with the Kidneys, the storehouse of our essential life essence, or Jing. Benefit: The anthocyanins, vitamin C, and iron in ube contribute to collagen production and healthy blood circulation. This means stronger hair follicles, a brighter complexion, and more resilient nails. In TCM terms, ube gently nourishes the Kidney and Stomach meridians, helping to preserve Jing and combat premature greying or hair loss. 6. An Excellent Source of Complex Carbs for Athletes Need clean, long-lasting energy? Ube is your answer. Benefit: Unlike simple sugars that cause a crash, the complex carbohydrates in ube provide a steady release of glucose for working muscles. This makes it an exceptional ingredient for a pre-workout smoothie or a post-workout recovery bowl to replenish glycogen stores without inflammation. 7. Brain Health & Cognitive Function The antioxidants in ube, particularly the anthocyanins, have been studied for their neuroprotective effects. Benefit: These compounds are thought to cross the blood-brain barrier and help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation in neural tissues. Regular consumption may help improve memory, focus, and protect against age-related cognitive decline. 8. Naturally Sweet, Creamy & Versatile Unlike other superfood powders that can be bitter or earthy, ube has a naturally sweet, creamy, nutty, vanilla-like flavour. Benefit: This allows you to add natural colour and sweetness to your recipes without needing added sugar or artificial flavourings. It turns a simple bowl of 5 Grain Oats into a purple paradise of flavour.
